Hi L, nice photo. To me, all the squares seem like choices. Zolita Sverdlove's paintings offer interesting options and the unknown beckons from above.
By the way, I like these. If you bid, I'd have any of these in our house.
These paintings really are wonderful!
I really enjoyed breezing through Zolita's web page. It's where I discovered she had studied with Richard Diebenkorn. Impressive: that makes her more then some Saturday hobbyist.
I was in a couple of shows with Zolita and was so sad to learn that she had passed away. It seemed so impossible. She was so vital. And that vitality lives on in her work.
This is a great opportunity to get some very good paintings.
Wasn't there a photo of a clock here this morning? Are you f'ing with me? Am I losing it?
